I wonder if the Borg, back in the 2370s, assimilated someone who was in Section 31, with the knowledge of the virus (or whatever- it has been a long while) they infected the great link with....). They could have used that knowledge to help use the changelings.- no way they were unaware of the Dominion and changelings prior to then.
 
I’m not sure why she went back.
The Maquis were virtually wiped out by the Dominion. There wasn't anywhere or anything for Ro to remain a part of.


Wow, did we know that Ro was going to be in the show? That was really unexpected.

Also, damn, guess that Starfleet was taking precautions for changelings after the war, but I wonder how the fuck they figured out to perfectly mimic humanoid forms.
Future Guy™ gave them genetic enhancements maybe?
 
Does make me laugh a bit how people are praising this season to the high heavens, saying it's a massive improvement on season 1. The story of a child of a TNG regular having a secret identity that is "activated" under duress, being hunted by an old enemy that has also infiltrated Starfleet Command seems a little familiar?
It's not the pitch, it's the execution.
 
Five less, this episode. :lol:

Sheesh! At this rate they'll have to rename the Alpha Quadrant Maple Street!

Maybe we'll have a scene at Starfleet HQ where Picard pulls a Donald Sutherland at the end.

Was there 5 less? Jack killed 4, but the faker La Forge was killed last week. Did I miss one? If so, I need to stop watching these at 4AM.
 
I really don't like Raffi this season. I know they had her acting like she was on drugs to get information in earlier episodes but, it seems like she is really on drugs in every scene.
 
He makeup didn’t look that great. The ridges were rather faded and the top of the nose didn’t have those distinctive dents.
IIRC, she was one of, if not the first, Bajorans we saw on screen. Not sure they were locked in on the makeup yet. I'd have to pull some of those episodes but I believe that the makeup artists stayed loyal to RO's makeup, not what became standard Bajoran.
 
WOW!!!!!!! An easy 10! I was in tears at the end. Such a great episode. (I thought some of the Worf/Raffi stuff on the planet was a little less interesting - I couldn't stop seeing Mr. Ramse from 12 Monkeys instead of the Vulcan character, but I guess it got them to where they needed to go)
 
But the point really is that previously people have complained about how they hate stories where Starfleet is evil, or corrupt, or compromised, like PIC S1 and DSC S2, but it's clearly not as simple as that.
It simply comes down to personal preference. Stop searching for Why and accept some Trek is for you, some isn't.
 
I'm also reminded of how this season started, with Beverly telling Picard not to trust anyone in Starfleet... but even after all this time, we don't really know what she knows. And for whatever reason, she didn't tell anyone else about what she knows for plot reasons, just so Shaw could contact Starfleet and put them in the position to be on the run.

Unless it's revealed she knows more, based on her statements she doesn't know why the others want Jack. She said not to trust anyone and no Starfleet because Starfleet personnel had tried to take Jack away before. She knew something was off about Starfleet wanting Jack.
 
Yeah, I totally get that and my post was obviously somewhat facetious.

But the point really is that previously people have complained about how they hate stories where Starfleet is evil, or corrupt, or compromised, like PIC S1 and DSC S2, but it's clearly not as simple as that.

Again, I’m enjoying this season quite a bit but I don’t really think it’s that different than what we’ve gotten since 2017. I think the key differences are: a lot more legacy characters, lots of Federation starships and LCARS.
